Woo Hoo!!!!!

I'm done! I'm done! I'm done! I can't believe it! It still seems pretty surreal. It was very anti-climactic because I had the flu this week so I didn't get to go to my last day of school. Ten months of hard work and I didn't get my last hoorah. It is going to be very strange this week to not have to rush off to school. I will actually get to cook AND eat dinner with my family, tuck the kids into bed, and have some relaxation time with Scott. My next steps will be taking the state boards, finishing up my laser certification, and taking the permanent cosmetics course in May. It is all so exciting!

We have had the absolute worst flu-bug in our house the last couple of weeks. Everyone got super sick except for Scott. He claims he skated by because of all the fruits and veggies that he juices everyday, and he is probably right. But the rest of us wanted to die. Heidi and I had it at the same time, and we were both in my bed, each with a bowl right next to our head because we couldn't even roll over by ourselves, let alone jump up and run to the bathroom in time to throw up. It was miserable. Everyone is feeling a lot better now, Ryan seems to be holding onto the germs a little while longer than the rest of us. Hopefully by next week everyone will be all better and we can all celebrate that I will not have to go to school anymore!

Very Hungry Caterpillar

Here are a couple of videos of Jenna "reading" The Very Hungry Caterpillar. In the second video you can hear Marley's sweet little voice saying, "I love you, too."

Easter Etc.

We had an awesome Easter weekend with lots of family. Summer, Alexis, Joseph, and Jayden came from San Diego to join in the festivities. All 9 grandkids were able to be together for the weekend, it was so fun! We did the traditional Easter egg hunt, egg coloring party, and the Easter Bunny came and brought lots of surprises.

And I FINALLY got "The Twin Picture", better late than never! I was just glad that they still fit in the swing together.

On Sunday Macey attempted to do a flip while jumproaping on the trampoline, and didn't quite stick her landing, resulting in a broken finger. A pretty darn good break, so the doctor said. She was so brave, and I am so glad that my kids aren't afraid to be daredevils.

FOUR MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL! And if that isn't exciting enough, I also have an interview with a cosmetic surgeon already! It is a combination aesthetician/patient consultant position, so I would be doing skin care and also working on the cosmetic surgery side. Talk about the best of both worlds. It is in the Biltmore area of Phoenix, which is still a great area for aesthetics and cosmetic surgery even the way the economy is right now. I am so excited, wish me luck!

I love them so much!!!

Laser Hair Reduction

I only have 8 more days of school! Woo hoo!! I will still be doing laser hair reduction through the school until I get all of my laser hours done, so if anyone has been wanting it, call me! By being a clinical study of mine, you would get a HUGE discount (ex: $210 for a 6 treatment package for underarm!). Email me for specific prices.

Look at this face!

Scott and his dad, too bad there is no resemblance (insert sarcasm)

Scott's brother Tim got married yesterday in Flagstaff, so we took a family trip up there for the festivities. Scott was a groomsman, and Macey and Heidi were flower girls. It was so cute to see them walking down the aisle throwing flower petals, they did such a good job and they loved the responsibility and being able to be a part of Uncle Tim's and Aunt Clover's wedding. It was a busy busy weekend, and if I had not had Scott's family there to help me with all the kids, Scott would have had to check me into a mental institution on our way back into town! Thank you a million times to everybody who helped us with the kids! It was also FREEZING in Flagstaff! It was snowing when we pulled into town, and it snowed for most of Friday night and got down to 25 degrees. It made me remember why I live in Phoenix. But the wedding was gorgeous, the bride was absolutely stunning, and it was so fun to see Scott's family and be able to hang out with them for the weekend. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get many pictures, as I was chasing toddlers around pretty much every second of the day, but hopefully I can get some of Scott's family to email me some (Jill? Jenae? Hint hint.) We are so happy for Tim and Clover, we love having Clover as a part of our family.
